Much to do and hand wringing is being expended before the full extent of the
issue is known. Because of the lead times required to produce these sets, if
this is an intentional change (maybe yes, maybe no) then it already a done
deed. Not much we can do except to evaluate the actual situation and decide
how to react to it. Much ranting and raving at this point is not going to
repeal changes which have already occured.

even if its true that the greys are being changed, this is not the first time or
the last during Legos long heritage of producing building blocks that a change
has been made.
I would imagine that if the internet had been around when they changed from
cellulose or whatever they used to made bricks from, there would have been
people to protest it as an unwelcome change.
and besides, Ray is correct in that we have no official evidence of what changes
are even being made at this point.
Play well all :)

| Relax, then rush out and get some of these new colors, and look at them side by
side with your old colors.
The grays are different. I like them. There is no chance I will confuse them
when they are mixed with the old.
Remember the excitement when the Mosaic came with a new gray? This is an
opportunity to expand your color palette. We dont know that Lego wont make the
old colors. Maybe George Lucas and Lego decided on this together just for Star
Wars.
The new light gray is much more platinum than the original one which looks
greenish by comparison (Im in white flurorescent light.) Its pearly. It is the
color you think your gray bricks are, but arent.
The new dark gray is like slate, or gunmetal blue. Next to the original dark
gray it looks almost like a color, or sand blue. Say halfway from dark gray to
sand blue.
Geez, suppose we had all gone off half cocked like this when the Statue of
Liberty green came along. Oh no! Lego is stop making green! Icky!
I asked my wife to look at them and point to which ones she liked. She picked
the two new ones.
As for the studs, the studs I got are exactly the same as the old ones.
